After being denied to an early opening of a drive in section of river, I decided to leave the park and fish to the less agile and stretch my legs on my favorite walk in access. Thought some of you might enjoy a picture story so here goes.
Had to throw this one in. The trail has a name but I've referred to it for years as the Fluffy Bunny Trail just to rub it in to the huffers and puffers. LOL. It's an easy hike, roughly 1 mile to the river. A few switchbacks but easy! I also stay in shape for elk hunting so some may find it a challenge on the way out. It's just a mile!
The REAL funny thing was about half way down I see this white thing along the trail. Out of the blue here is this egg all dressed up like a bunny! I swear on my honor we did not stage this. Someone else placed this egg along the trail and we just happened to see it. 100% surreal. So my nickname "Fluffy Bunny Trail" must be shared by someone else. Peter Cottontail? Testament to how easy the trail is though. lol
Just a shot of the river from the up and over. Nice place to look at the fish. It's amazing how easily they see you and head out. Even from this elevation they take off at your slightest movement.
I call this the swimming hole. Twenty or so years ago my buddy and I use to swim here. The summer days get REAL hot down there. So you get in the cold arse water until you can't take it then sprawl out on the hot black rocks and bake yourself dry in a few minutes. Still a bit too nipple for a swim here. Won't be long!
Swallows have yet to return. When they do it's hard to cast a dry. Between them and the bats I spend some time unhooking a few winged friends in the summer. The trick is to get them banked before they drown.
One of my favorite Pteronarcys holes in this stretch. I've talked about this hole here before.
The cherry on a sundae. I could care less if I catch fish but it would require work not to.
If you know the spot....... keep it secret, keep it safe. LOL
Larry, if you all make it back this way this summer, give me a shout!
